Service · Several languages

A multilingual website that works in every language

Not a translation plugin on top of one page, but a website built for several languages from the start — each with its own address, its own titles and its own place in Google.

What makes a multilingual website work

Its own address per language

/de/, /fr/ and so on. Search engines index every language separately, and every version can be shared with a link.

Hreflang and clean metadata

Every page tells Google which versions exist in other languages, so the right language appears in the right country.

A language switch that keeps your place

Switching language keeps the visitor on the same page instead of sending them back to the start.

Typography per language

Long German words, French punctuation spacing and different text lengths are tested so no layout breaks.

Proof: two multilingual websites

  • This website — English, Bosnian, German and French, each language pre-rendered for search engines, with its own address, titles and social preview image.
  • Class’Mat® — client website in French, German and English for professionals in Luxembourg and beyond. Case study.

Who needs a multilingual website

  • Companies in Luxembourg, Belgium and Switzerland, where clients read in more than one language.
  • Manufacturers and engineering firms that sell or build across borders — see construction and engineering websites.
  • Tourism and travel businesses with guests from many countries.
  • Any business that wants to be found in the language of its customers.

Translations

You provide the texts in every language — ideally checked by a native speaker, because that is what builds trust. I make sure every language is built, laid out, linked and indexed properly, and I tell you when a text is too long for its place.

Timeline, price and what is included

A first version in days, not months. Timelines depend on the number of pages and languages and are agreed before work starts. They are estimates, not guarantees.

Price by agreement — you get a free estimate within 24 hours.

Custom design and code, phones first, basic SEO for every language, help with domain and hosting, and 30 days of fixes after launch are always included.

Frequently asked questions

How many languages can a website have?

As many as you need. Every language gets its own address, titles and descriptions; the structure stays the same.

Do you translate the texts?

No. You provide the texts in each language, ideally checked by a native speaker. I build and test every language version.

Is a separate address per language better for SEO?

Yes. With its own address and hreflang links, every language can be indexed and shown to the right audience, instead of one page competing with itself.

Can the website pick the visitor’s language automatically?

It can suggest a language based on the browser settings, while every language stays reachable at its own address — so search engines and visitors are never locked out.

What about long German words or French punctuation?

Layouts are tested in every language. German headlines get room to wrap, and French texts get the correct non-breaking spaces before : ; ? and !.

Can I add a language later?

Yes. A new language can be added to the existing structure without rebuilding the website.

How long does it take and what does it cost?

It depends on the number of pages and languages. Price by agreement, with a free estimate within 24 hours.

How do we work together?

In English or Bosnian, by email and online video calls. In person in Sarajevo by arrangement. You get a reply within 24 hours.
